[p]words cannot express how I feel about this, tbf some of the blame should be shared with corrupt politicians who make back door deals with these guys just to get their support come election time in the hope that their dirty deeds will not be exposed by these bent cops, an act which should in itself be deemed illegal, but goes unchecked by superiors as it is considered a part of doing business in that part of the world making it an absolute necessity for all groups involved.

In the end the community suffers because there is no one out there who is seeking the interest of the people for the simple reason that these politicians that are elected by the people do not hold an obligation to them, but to people they've made a back door deal with, in essence the police force do not feel that they're obligated in protecting the community as their allegiance is not to the community, but to those who they have made deals with. It is for this reason that we see the rise of insubordination to higher command and the show of disregard to those they are sworn to protect. The complete disregard for authority should be alarming to everyone in this country as history have shown if this action goes unchecked, we will forever live to regret the day we ignore such action to begin with.
